Character: Hanabi
Hanabi watches as Hinata struggles to survive (because really what she's doing can't be called fighting) and begins counting the seconds until Neji defeats her. She waits quietly, watches as Hinata is destroyed by a branch member, watches while everyone sees that Hinata will never make the Hyugga clan proud. As Hinata rushes forward in one last pathetic attempt to prove herself…Hanabi waits and waits and waits counting patiently (5,4,3,2…) until—Neji slams his palm into her chest. Hanabi tries to release the breath she didn't even know she was holding but something in her chest is clenched and something like shame is pooling in her stomach as she realizes that—this whole time she had been rooting for poor, pathetic, disgraceful Hinata.

A/N: this quote comes from my teacher who gave the most amazing lecture on people and the evilness of people and yet the limits to that evil, how we couldn't care less about the means to an end unless we are the ones seeing/experiencing those means….hence the quote.
